It very much feels like a cultural moment, and as such, many entertainers have stepped up to ensure that young, black people have the opportunity to see the film. On the other side, some have launched a campaign to swarm Rotten Tomatoes with bad reviews for the film as an act of revenge against what they perceive to be a bias against DC films. We break down early reactions to the film, the value of this movie to the black community, and why Black Panther may just be the most important comic book film of all time. The Comics Pals is a weekly comic book podcast where a group of comic book journalists and friends get together to talk comics.
